#228946 Is the Wii U being sabotoged?

Posted by Socalmuscle on 05 July 2013 - 03:39 AM

Ubisoft with rayman legends actually let the cat out of the bag: they were obviously pulling back.

Legends was a launch window game. It wasnt a game to be sold once the system gained traction. It was to be one more reason TO GET a wii u.

Then ubi went back on their word and really hurt Nintendo with their lack of support, despite the game being ready and despite Nintendo having given ubi soft prime time e3 marketing time.

There's no way around that.

Anyone can say: "oh. We want to sell better, so we are going to wait until a system has more sales.  But they also know the game when they sign up for launch.

Then there was a lot of love given to Sony this year, while at the same time withholding info on nintendo multiplat games that crossover the ps4 and wii u.

At the very least, there appears to be some undercurrent of favoritism, for whatever reason. But recent contradictory statements regarding wii u also smell more than a little fishy.

Now the mention of doubt regarding future wii u development unless x,y,z... It's all sounding a bit rough.


#228978 Pachter: “Why Would Anybody Buy A Wii U?”

Posted by ugguy on 05 July 2013 - 06:51 AM

I bought a Wii U because I want to play mario games, Zelda games, Pikmin games, Mario and Sonic games etc which you wouldn't be able to play on a PS or XBox.




#228352 New too wii u looking for friends :)

Posted by pioed on 02 July 2013 - 05:30 PM

Hi, i recently bought myself a wii u, unfortunately nobody I know is interested in one. I play most games that come out on the system ranging from monster hunter to sonic allstars. Feel free to add me anyone my info is on my profile, happy gaming!




#228413 Sonic & Allstars Racing Transformed

Posted by Wolf on 03 July 2013 - 01:40 AM

The pace of this game is quite fast. A lot faster than Mario but its Sonic so I guess it's how it should be. Playing in SP on the full screen is really something. The developers have put a lot of effort in here, a feeling I didn't get from the last installment.


#228330 Iwata: More unannounced games coming to Wii U by 2014

Posted by MorbidGod on 02 July 2013 - 03:40 PM

Tons of support, what with six & twelve month old ports, i have had a WiiU since launch & these are the games i have NSMBU, ZombiU (i got with the console) Cod Black Ops 2 & NFS-MW, i also have these digital games Trine 2 & Luigi for NSMBU & that's it, that's six games in eight months of owning my WiiU, the game i play most is Black Ops 2 because it's the only multiplayer game on the WiiU basically, & don't go on about Batman & AC because i have already played them to the death on my X360 & PS3, when i go into to my local Game store the X360 & PS3 have new games on the shelves but the WiiU shelf has the same games everytime in go in, there is nothing new coming out for it, it's no good saying 101 & Pikmin will be out in a few months because they simply won't save the WiiU, even UbiSoft have said they are now more focused on the PS4 & X1, people should be talking about the games that can be played NOW on the WiiU & not about the games that they will be playing on the PS4 & X1, thats the problem.

As for the false promises by Iwata, he said that the WiiU was going to have full third party support because Nintendo knew that they had problems in the past, they said they were working with all the major developers & publishers, now it takes a couple of years to make a game, so where the hell are they ?

I know this has gone off topic, but you asked.

This gen Nintendo are going to have the lowest amount of third party ever, even the 3DO & Atarti Jaguar had more third party support than the WiiU is getting !


You can't discount the ports, like Batman, just because you have played them to death. Both of those games haven't reach 100m+ sales yet ... So not everyone has played them. I have played AC3, and I have not played Batman. AC3 I bought on Wii U.

However, the problem Nintendo had wasn't first party. They had Batman, COD, AC3, Darksiders 2, Madden, FIFA, Sega Sonic Racing, Lego City, ZombiU, Just Dance 4, Skylanders, Mickey 2, Ninja Guiden (which was improved from the original), Takken. I know I am also missing others.

The problem was there wasn't that must have game. Nintendo trust that ZombiU was going to be that one game. It was presented in that way at E3 2012. Ubisoft is good, but that game was not that must have title. From that third party list, all were pretty much multiplats. So, when people are considering a new console, why buy a new console to play games you can get on the console you have?

That's why Nintendo mistake was NOT HAVING Pikman, not having Wonderful 101 at or near launch. If they did then things would be different.

And remember, launch was good enough to get 3m+ sales in a few months. The problem didn't start until January 2013. That's when the drought killed the Wii U sales.


THAT DROUGHT HAS ENDED. Nintendo has, starting with Pikman 3 and Wonderful 101, a big list of exclusives - both first party and third - leading until 2014 with the possibility of more to come. The only reason we have no names and no dates is they aren't sure they are going to make 2013 date. This way they don't promise something they can't do.

So again, what promise has he not fulfilled?


#228304 Just got MH3 Ultimate. Got some questions.

Posted by SolxBurst on 02 July 2013 - 01:43 PM

The best help I can provide is this series of videos by Pro Jared. It helped me out a lot when I was getting started in Monster Hunter.

 

 

But to answer your questions, you should play offline mode for a while and build up your character so that you can take on the harder missions online. Never ignore one in favor of the other as you will benefit more by doing both.




#228299 Wii U Save Data Non-transferable, Why?

Posted by grahamf on 02 July 2013 - 01:27 PM

Frankly I'd just be happy if they implemented a share method, so I can put my game saves onto a usb stick then plug it into my friend's Wii U to continue where I left off.


Actually, it'd be awesome if they can somehow put a roaming profile onto the USB drive so I can somehow play my downloaded games and access my Miiverse account on my friend's Wii U.

I't sorry about your financial issues. I hope you can replace her someday. Goodluck.




#227411 A decline in the gaming community

Posted by Mewbot on 29 June 2013 - 05:47 AM

I don't know what it is about the gaming industry, but people can never seem to agree on things. They just can't seem to understand that all companies are good, or that it is possible for nintendo to do something right, or for nintendo to make a new IP.

 

Seriously, I've had people try to tell me that Microsoft has better IP's than Nintendo.

Yes, Microsoft does have good IP's. Nintendo's are better, my opinion. Microsoft generally gets the best 3rd party (at least they did last gen), and Sony is a mix between both.

 

They're all good, none are better than the others, but people seem to be inclined to "defend" their personal favourite manufacturer, even when there is no "better" system, there is no "winner" of the console wars, the systems are not the same, they are simply different.




#227405 A decline in the gaming community

Posted by Chrop on 29 June 2013 - 05:23 AM

The gaming community will never become one, even if there is only 1 game left on the entire planet, you will have 1 group of people that likes 1 character and another group that hates that character and more conflict will commence.

#227145 Game and Wario Release Trailer

Posted by NintendoReport on 28 June 2013 - 09:16 AM

what are your thoughts?

 

I'm having fun with it. As the cover says... gamepad pandemonium! Some games I find myself playing more often than others, but that's expected. Each game is very unique and it's a great party type game to play with friends.

 

I thought the shooting arrow game is pretty cool. Shooting arrows at enemies from gamepad to TV, if you start missing the enemies work themselves closer to you and eventually end up on the gamepad screen... then you have to touch the enemies to kill them on the gamepad.

 

Having fun!




#227099 Iwata has no plans of resigning

Posted by DéliopT on 28 June 2013 - 07:07 AM

He might have made mistakes but he`s strategy, on the long run, is good.

To me he`s biggest mistake was letting the same mistakes that plagued the 3DS launch, repeat themselves with Wii U. But at least, one of them is getting corrected: the lack of games due to lack of resources is being corrected with the recente and future increase of staff.




#226820 Nintendo says they're not making too many Mario games, new mechanics make...

Posted by Colinx on 27 June 2013 - 11:26 AM
